Bookshops are closing

Bookshops are closing one by one. Each giving the reason due to increase in rent. So does the owner really get the impression that bookshops are earning? In today's high tech age, books are like music CDs, slowing phasing out. People can get e-bboks instead. People also goes to library rather then to buy books. To see bookshops closing one after another is just sad. While e-books are much popular, books still have their advantage. There will always be something you can't get online. Hopefully these bookshops will be around for a long time and of course have interesting books if not it wouldn't make any differences if there are there or not.
